Patient's question:
Baby girl, how many months old, has been having a fever these days. It's the kind where the fever goes down but then comes back again, happening repeatedly. She's eating dinner normally but crying non-stop. What should I do if my 8-month-old baby has a fever?Doctor's answer:
If there is a viral infection, it is necessary to continue for about 5 days. Oral fever-reducing medication can be taken to lower the fever. In addition to physical cooling, if the condition has not improved, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for follow-up. It is absolutely not possible to solve the problem blindly. Give the baby an appropriate amount of water, and the diet should be based on light and easily digestible foods. Daily routines should be regular, and measures to prevent cold and keep warm should be taken. Daily diet should include more light and soft foods, and the room should be ventilated frequently and hot water should be drunk more, to ensure that the condition does not recur.
